CD47 (Cluster of differentiation 47): an anti-phagocytic receptor with a multitude of signaling functions
2020
Leclair, Pascal | Lim, Chinten James
CD47 is a tumor-associated antigen best known for its ability to bind counter-receptors on the surface of professional phagocytes as an immune-evasion strategy. Recently, CD47 has been shown to play a role as a signaling receptor, involving a number of cell physiological processes. This review provides a comprehensive survey of the signaling pathways triggered by CD47 ligand-mediated cell death in tumor cells. Such an understanding should lead to improvement of CD47-targeted anti-tumor therapeutics able to both neutralize the anti-phagocytic role and trigger autonomous tumor cell death.
